A lot of these athletes are really good looking.
Especially the mathletes!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I guess it's the combination of good health + happy people?

I think a lot of the attractiveness comes from the look on their faces. Who isn't beautiful with a huge, joyful smile on their face? I'm happy for every single one of them.

I love the tiny countries with a few athletes. It's just so... big and pure for them. It's what the Olympics are about.
And those damned Brazilians are sooooo freakin' gorgeous.

Because books.
I didn't miss the US, right?

“Not dead yet!”
Nope
About 2/3 of the way through the parade, so still a ways to go.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I didn't miss the US, right?
Don't think so (unless I did, but I wasn't offline long enough to miss such a big team). They should be about 2/3 of the way through the whole big thing.

Oh jesus. Presidential ads already. Fuck.
I saw the Jamaican team and went whoot! Because I know 3 nationals. Um.
I adore the small teams from obscure countries. Because they are.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I find it amusing that the Canadian and US costumes are so close to each other - Canadians are more casual, but we're both still rocking the driving cap and light pants.
(I unabashedly loved the Canadian costumes for Calgary. Big cowboy hats and greatcoats? SO THERE.)
